Report on Ultraschall in der Medizin/European Journal of Ultrasound in 2007

Table of Contents

Just like when I wrote the report one year ago I will have only nice things to say. The year 2007 was another good year for our journal. The Impact Factor increased once again, from 1.708 to 2.103. The journal is now ranked 32nd out of 85 journals in the category "Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging". This is good news not only for those directly involved in the journal and for the contributors but also for EFSUMB.

We also continue to see an increase in submitted manuscripts and this of course means greater competition for the journal pages. In the Editorial in issue 5-2007 some general tips and tricks can be found to make sure that your manuscript is the only that moves on to publication.

In 2007 Professor Gerhard Mostbeck from Vienna joined us as co-editor in the journal and I would like to thank him and my other co-editors Karlheinz Seitz, Kurt Jäger and Eberhard Merz for all the work that is put into making the journal what it is today. I would also like to thank everyone else involved in the process, the contributors, the reviewers, and the Thieme group.

The Ultraschall in der Medizin/European Journal of Ultrasound - the official journal of EFSUMB - is also the official journal of 9 national ultrasound societies (the German, Swiss, Austrian, Norwegian, Danish, Latvian, Flemish, Macedonian and Croatian).
